gimme passion, gimme feeling, gimme something to believe in

i've been feelin kinda down for the past week or so, and i really had no idea why.

i mean, everything's been great - new classes, lots of parties, good friends, been shopping - i'm really lucky, in every sense of the word.

but, i dunno.. it's just been hard, going to class and seeing so many people who are passionate about so many things, as large or as small an issue they are, when all i feel like is that i personally have lost all of my passion.

i know that sounds like a drastic thing to say

and i know my primary new years resolution was to get that passion back into my life

(and believe me, i have tried)

but everything that i once felt passionate about has just disappeared from my life, with no hope for their return.

so im thinking, im in university - this is the place for me to develop new passions, see the world in a completely different light - and i know that mit is definitely the program to be in to do this

but i find that even when something interests me in a class, i dont feel the same way that i used to about singing, or writing, or photography, or even the lame arts and crafts that i used to do when i was in kindergarten.

and the (lack) of passion in my life in the other sense of the word has always been an issue with me too... yeah there are always guys, but those guys are never the guys that i feel passionate about.. those guys just aren't there

so what am i to do

anything?

well, the obvious thing is that i need to get the passion back into my life, but it seems like the path that i am currently on is not allowing that for me.

something needs to change and i dont even know where to start or what to do or who to go to or whether i should even bother

(ok, comments on, but i dont want answers to my rhetorical questions)

    yah know i find myself wondering the same thing, i always thought university would be the time in my life to be really passionate about something and have it consume every part of me. but i'm finding it harder and harder to find what it is i'm truly passionate about to begin with. i don't know if this sheds some light for you, but i'm beginning to think that university helps you discover what you are passionate about and it takes some process of elimination to do that. i do wish you luck though and i hope for the both of us and any others that it will happen eventually.
